What is a weekend’s newspaper browse without the inclusion of a Davie Provan rant? Is he this angry all the time or is it a tactic to get noticed? His latest comments on the SPFL shutdown will certainly bring him some attention.
His piece in the Sun is an all-out attack on the SPFL and Neil Doncaster, not to mention the majority will of the clubs in Scotland who cast their vote on Friday.
It is fair to say Provan is dead against the league been called now and here is some of his best bits of opposition.
“But, as usual, fairness took second place to self-interest in a stitch-up that would make the Mafia blush.”
“WHEN Dundee’s John Nelms has taken time to consider this contentious SPFL proposal, I hope he finds the balls to blow it out the water.”
“Everything about this plan stinks, not least because there’s no reason to call the lower leagues now.”
Their sales pitch would have us believe it’s in the interests of the entire football family. Ah, the football family. Three words guaranteed to make you vomit. That the Premiership’s Greed is Good culture is the root of all evil.”
The former player finished off with a comment that would suit Celtic fans more than any other scenario that has been played out over the past couple of months.
“Our own Premiership has eight rounds of fixtures to play, 12 hours of football. If that has to happen behind closed doors with the permission of the PFA, so be it. But completing fixtures in ghost grounds is a better option than handing it to Mystic Meg.”
